I liked your post not because I agree with you on every single thing. I liked your post because you show some restraint and discernment, that things are not obvious...and that we can assess and wait for results.


My compliments in a very rough ocean.

Maybe that's why I struggle with all the extremes. If someone wants to rationally disagree with me, I can at least see what you are saying and respect it even if I don't agree with it. But there are far too many Dak is great so pay him or Dak sucks so replace him posts for my taste.

Some notable quotes by the fans who know Andy Dalton best. Good to get the opinions outside of this CZ echo-chamber every now and then.


1."I wouldn't pay Dak 35 million or whatever the crazy man wants. I'd be like here ya go Dalton, we got 3 speedy wide receivers, go get em"

2. "They sure don't seem to be busting their butts to get him signed. If he doesn't, the cowboy have a starting QB for 3 mil."

3. "I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starter at week 1. Congratulations to Dalton. I'm glad he's not in the AFC. I wish you luck and I hope to see you lose to us in the Superbowl every year"

4. "A top 5 QB who went 8-8 with a good team?
Top five QB numbers. He didn't exactly slay the big games but he did beat up on the lowly."

5. "He's better than Dak and will be starting before then end of the year."

6. "Andy Dalton + 25-29 in cap space vs. Dak Prescott @ 32 mil is an easy choise to make for me..."

7. "Dak never seemed that special to me. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dalton was the starter. Even if Dak signed too."

8. "Wait... Can we get Dak Prescott to back up Burrow now?"

9. " I'd take a rejuvenated Dalton at 17M (yes 17 million) - over a despondent Dak at 32M any day of the week.

That they got him for what they did is insane. Andy will light it up like it's 2015.
Dallas won off season"

QBs with 70+ wins and 200+ pass TDs since 2011

Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Aaron Rodgers
Ben Roethlisberger
Matt Ryan
Russell Wilson

And one more guy.

Andy Dalton (Cowboys!)
Some fine cherry picking.

The Jerry Jones Cowboys have never won a playoff game without Jimmy Johnson or a Ginger QB (or ex-QB) on the payroll.

Unless Jimmy wants to come back, this was a no-brainer signing.

I love how Dak is either great or terrible with no nuance at all.

A few people have already been benched due to personal insults and name calling in this thread. Please, stop it before more get benched.

Reminder:



If someone is claiming that Dalton should start they either:
Haven't watched Dalton play
Haven't watched Dak play
Just say stuff to troll

Those are the only options


it is not just ability it is also price and how that impacts the team and its future. tbh i dont see how any one could watch dak last season against the eagles, saints, patriots, packers, bears, etc and say he is orders of magnitude better then dalton...because that is what he is going to cost.

Dak was good against the Saints with a 76.6 QBR with the team letting him down, Dak played through injury against the Eagles the second time, and the Pat's game was some of the worst conditions possible against an elite secondary(yet Dak still outplayed Brady in those conditions).

If you think those were bad, then you would definitely have a rude awakening with Dalton.

Intentionally downgrading your QB position for the next 10 years is never a good plan.

Dalton holds Bengal records for touchdowns passes ( 204) and completions ( 2,757) surpassing Ken Anderson . He also holds club marks for career passer rating (87.5) and games with 300 yards passing(28). His 24 game winning drives also are the most by a Bengal QB,

But Dalton is more famous outside the Bengals for losing in the first round in each of his playoff games which BTW was the Bengals best stretch of playoff appearances in franchise history.

Dalton was one of the most proficient passers when given a solid supporting cast. He led the AFC with a 106.3 passer rating in 2015.

He also holds single season records for passing yards(4,293 in 2013) and touchdowns ( 33) in 2013.

I think we could present a pretty good argument Dalton is most experienced and proven backup QB we’ve signed since perhaps Bernie Kosar. A QB who might mean the season isn’t over if Dak goes down or holds out.

I’d argue it’s a great move for the Cowboys.
All I have to say is go to You tube and re-watch Dak versus Dalton 2016. Not even close. And that was a rookie Dak at that.
